The New York Knicks are on a mission right now.
Following a tough loss in Game 3, Tom Thibodeau’s team is looking to take the series back to the Big Apple with a 3-1 lead.
They know the Philadelphia 76ers are no ordinary No. 7 seed and how dangerous Joel Embiid can be, and they cannot afford to let them even things up on Sunday.
With that in mind, star PG Jalen Brunson arrived at Wells Fargo Center with a clear message on his hoodie: New York or Nowhere (via NBA).

Brunson has been spectacular since he took his talents to Madison Square Garden.
While he hasn’t been at his best thus far in the playoffs, he was the best point guard in the league this season and one of the biggest reasons why the Knicks were able to secure the No. 2 seed despite the injuries and not having Julius Randle in the final stretch of the campaign.
He’s a tough and gritty scorer who won’t be denied on his way to the rim, and he’s been the perfect fit for an ever-struggling franchise that had lacked a starting-caliber point guard for ages.
Things have gotten a little chirpy between these two teams, and we should be in for a tough battle from start to finish.
The Sixers are 5.5-point favorites ahead of tip-off, and with Mitchell Robinson’s status still up in the air, it’s going to take a lot to contain Embiid in the paint.
